Hey everyone, so I had a recent wedding where a file corrupted of the bride walking down the aisle. It turned into a .DAT file 😬
I’ve been trying various free softwares, and even bought Wondershare Recoverit, but even with advanced video recovery it only turns into what looked like a really badly scratched DVD.
As a side note, it's an odd problem I've been having with the R6; no matter what battery or card I try it happens to corrupt some files with an error. I'm not sure what's causing the issue but the file is what I'm just focusing on recovering at the moment. Until I finish my switch to Sony, I'll have to use my tank-sized Blackmagic 6K Pro for weddings.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what to try next in recovering the file? Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
